The approximate future minimum lease payments under the operating leases are as follows:



		Future Minimum Lease Payments by Year
Total		2014		2015		2016		2017		2018		Thereafter
$	6,935,000	$	683,000	$	693,000	$	693,000	$	693,000	$	629,000	$	3,544,000

The total approximate future minimum lease payments of $6.9 million include $354 thousand of obligations resulting from a contractual expense reimbursement agreement ("Expense Agreement") with a third party. Under the Expense Agreement, these amounts are required to be reimbursed to the Company by the third party. The obligation of the third party to reimburse the Company for these expenses survives the termination of the Expense Agreement.

In addition to the above lease payments, the Company is also responsible for normal operating expenses of the properties. Such operating expenses were approximately $9.80 per square foot in 2013, on a combined basis, and are expected to be approximately $10.12 per square foot in 2014.
